    Spurs under Pop did the same. Pop even admits he incorporated a lot of MDA's system into their offense. Kerr's offense is not exactly MDA's but it was the closest to it until recently.

    There are a million articles out there asking MDA if he feels justified now that teams have won championships using his philosophy and system.

    Wouldn't doubt it but GS definitely just doesn't operate the way houston does

    Honestly. . . 50+ percent from the corners. . . .. is 50+ percent from the corners . .. . . .

    HONESTLY
    Make me think in the playoffs. . . we might have to revisit the POINT FORWARD I dea
    with Harden being the Forward.

    He does well on post ups and some teams don't have great forwards

    I mean to use your own logic against you right here in your argument about how much help the warriors back court gets: a high percentage of made 3s is a high percentage of made 3s.

    Also, Warriors backcourt combination is better with 2 All-Stars and Livingston can play starter some and Patrick McCaw can play. Plus 3 of them are proven with a ring.

    Look at it this way. Klay is the best role player in the league.

    a starting lineup with thompson/barnes/draymond/bogut or thompson/durant/draymond/C is pretty much the best a three point shooter could ask for. harden's abilities are amplified but it doesn't make things completely easy for him. he still has to create every shot. he still has to beat the center when he drives

    If it is 4 vs 4. We may be the best.
    But curry/Thompson > harden + one of the Gordon/Lou/Bev

    They def need to run that lineup for 5-6 min a game imo.

    James is can guard some centers.

    Iv seen him bang with Marc Gasol down low.

    Put that lineup out there with Capela or Harrell and just run teams out the gym.

    You might be on to somthing.

    This might be the antidote to confusing golden state for stretches.

    It def could be houstons lineup of death.

    harden, gordon, beverley, williams backcourt puts up 80 points and gives up 90 pts.

    curry, thompson, livingston, clark, macaw backcourt puts up maybe 70 pts but gives up 50.

    Sooo..... About that,

    ...Yes, we do.

    The better question is, where would Lou and Gordon rank as a starting backcourt?
